Hyperion Corporation

The Hyperion Corporation is a weapon manufacturer in Borderlands 2, controlled by Handsome Jack. They play a very large part in the story of Borderlands 2 as they have completely taken over the planet of Pandora in hopes of mining all of the planet's Eridium and finding another Vault.

Hyperion weapons tend to have a futuristic, sci-fi look to them. They also feature "recoil stabilizers" which increase the weapon's accuracy the more it is fired. These can be especially useful in "Fight for your Life!" to compensate for the inability to aim down the sights.
